Arabic version: كاسيميرو يستعد لتوديع جماهير مانشستر يونايتد

According to BBC News,

Casemiro, the Brazilian midfielder, is preparing to say goodbye to Manchester United and Old Trafford as he makes his final appearance for the club against Nottingham Forest this Sunday. Known for his contributions on the pitch, the 34-year-old has made 159 appearances and scored 26 goals since joining United.

Fans have frequently chanted, “One more year, one more year, Casemiro,” despite the reality that he will be departing. His emotional connection with the supporters has been evident, especially after scoring crucial goals, such as an early lead against Brentford last month, which prompted him to kiss the badge on his shirt in appreciation.

Casemiro’s journey at United has not been without its challenges. Following a rough patch in December 2024, where his performance drew criticism, he worked hard to regain his place in the starting lineup. His perseverance paid off, leading to a resurgence in form that solidified his importance to the team. He has been a key player in their successful quest for Champions League qualification this season.

Michael Carrick, the current manager, praised Casemiro’s influence, stating, “He has been an absolute pleasure to work with.” The Brazilian’s departure has been clearly communicated, providing clarity for both player and club during this transition.

As he prepares for his last game, Casemiro reflects on his time at United and the bond he shares with the fans, emphasizing their unwavering support. He also looks to the future, with speculation about a potential move to Major League Soccer after the World Cup. Regardless of where his career takes him next, Casemiro will always be remembered as a hero at Old Trafford.
